  • excellent album
    author: abbynormal92243

    I love this CD. It's quiet enough to play at work, but cool enough to crank up high on the car stereo.

  • Excellent Listen!
    author: Bren

    I love this CD! I play it in the office, and at least one co-worker has ordered his own copy!

  • It's not what I expected & that's good!
    author: DJS

    I wasn't sure about adding this CD to my eclectic, international collection, but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. Love the variety and fusion.

  • Great music
    author: Nick the Greek

    The versions of the classic Rebetika Sinefiasmeni Kyriaki and Ta Matoklada Sou Lampoun are excellent. The original tracks exhibit exceptional creativity yet still capture the feelings of Greek music.

  • Captures the Spirit of Greece
    author: George T.

    This is a fantastic CD that captures the true spirit of Greece. The songs each have there own personality and evoke classic images in your mind. My favorite tracks are 5, 11 & 12. Listen for yourself and see what a fantastic buy this is. My highest possible recommendation.

  • Very cool
    author: Ian

    It works for my needs as a choreographer. After a while however, the tracks start to sound similar and Ispania has disrupts the flow of the CD. But just to listen to the first two tracks that I am using is well worth it.

  • very powerful music, emotional and moving, vivid
    author: Ross Hannant

    The music draws pictures in my mind. I am drawn in by the foundation of the rhythm. I am held by the emotion of the melody.
